Compression that can be used with mpz_*_raw

[David McKen]

Well I guess I better re-check and then send in a bug report.

If anyone else wants to check this out, I just generated some random 
numbers and printed each to 2 different files. One was a text file in 
which the number was printed in decimal and then in hex. The second file 
was binary and mpz_out_raw was used to print the numbers to this file. I 
just opened the file in a hex editor and compared.

The problem may no longer exist, I was using 4.1.2 when I performed this 
test. The documentation says the file is written in a portable manner so 
I wanted to find out which endian it was written in.
